RPCLoad Tool

This is a hacked up version of hey that, instead of HTTP load, generates RPC load by using the sigsci-module-golang module as well as parts of the rule simulator. The load is generated against a running sigsci-agent.

Usage

First, you need to run a sigaci-agent. If you are just testing RPC performance, then you should minimize the inspection impact on performance and run stanalone without rules:

sigsci-agent --debug-standalone=7 --rpc-address=/tmp/rpcload_bench

Next apply load by running the rpcload tool against the same rpc-address as the agent under test:

go run tools/rpcload/rpcload.go -c 10 -dur 30s /tmp/rpcload_bench

Usage (go run tools/rpcload/rpcload.go):

Usage of rpcload:
  -c int
        Concurrent requests (default 5)
  -client string
        Client IP address (default "1.2.3.4")
  -cpus int
        CPU cores to utilize (default 8)
  -ct string
        Request content type
  -data string
        Request body data
  -dur duration
        Test duration (1m, 90s, etc.)
  -httptest.serve string
        if non-empty, httptest.NewServer serves on this address and blocks
  -m string
        Request method (default "GET")
  -n int
        Number of requests (default 10000000)
  -rps float
        Rate - HTTP transactions per second
  -s int
        Response HTTP status code (default 200)
  -t int
        Timeout in milliseconds (default 100)
  -uri string
        Request uri (default "http://rpcload.sigsci.in/rpcload")
